Bassn the Flints (pics)

I think I have only posted one outing. This trip I had my phone with me and decided I would attempt to document the outing. Here is a pictorial of a typical Kansas Bass trip in S.E. Kansas. Hope you enjoy. This is my lake where I do about half my fising. It is about 90 acres and we have a cabin on the hill (with a newly added A/C! ) I share this lake with about 8 other cabins. Typically there is hardly a soul on it, barring the big weekends, aka...4th, memorial, etc.

The lake has basically been very muddy and high all spring. this was the first time it has been remotely fishable IMO this year. I started out throwing my go to bait on this lake - 10" culprit with a red or lime tail. Caught a few but my buddy started out chucking and winding a trap and was killing me...really showing me up! eventually I converted over and we both hung a bunch of fish. The estimated count after 4 hours of angling was 40 fish with only 4 under 2lbs with the largest BOGA'D at 5.3 lbs, we each lost a HAWG near the boat...one we saw and it may have gone around 7 and the other almost ripped the rod out of my buddies hand and the classic pump.. pump... drag sizzle helpless kind of deal and came unbuttoned. It was a serious good day in Kansas. Hot as a snakes a_ _ in wagon rut but a great day of fishing! Hope ya enjoy the pics!

Here is the lake after we got on! Nice calm morning, you can see my rig on the right where we slid the boat in on a make shift ramp.

The days baits.

On the way to the lake we go by a wind farm. When you get close to these things they really are huge and quite awe inspiring.

Well thats the trip. thanks for the look! I hope to post some more pics and larger fish in the future!

Thanks guys!  I am hoping to make it back out this Sunday if the stars align correctly.  RW, it's in your old neighborhood (kind of)-  Just East of Sedan.  We fish a bunch of them over that way....watersheds make you think you are invincible!

I was shocked at how stupid I got when I moved to the larger bodies of water.  I need to go back and have a little fun every once in awhile.   BTW, I would give my left one to have a lake house set up on a private body of water.

RW- I fish the 'big lakes' every once in a while (to help me remember why I don't ).

Tough to beat the good ol KS watershed!  I got lucky and only had to give up a couple of fingers for my cabin ;D!  Looked for 3 years until I came over the hill to this one!  

I am always looking, I will keep you in mind if you are in the market RW (even though you are a Husker).  

Happy Releasing,

LOL

A little red might improve some of those Purple neighborhoods!!.   At least we could set out some hardware for the Cats to admire.  

Yes let me know if something would arise.

Gorilla,

How close are you to Burlington?  Specifically Coffey County Fishing Lake.  Was there last year and tore up the smallies.  Havent made it down this year but would like to in the fall.

My lake is about 100 miles straight South of Burlington.  Very few people and lots O fish

Meow!

Is it a private lake or public.  Looks like a place i might want to fish some time.
